Steve Hitchen “we will try to add 2-3 players this summer or maybe more”
“Jose has highlighted the areas he wants to improve which are 3-4 positions”

So assuming RB and DM are 2 of them then a striker another I wonder if the 4th position is CB or LB or AM as we really need all of those, 3-4 players isn’t enough you grumpy ? head

Watching Ep 7 and Jose/Joao pull apart the Leizig and Chelsea loses, they're spot on and our players all look confused.
Been watching the Doc and from what I’ve seen, all the tactical analysis that Jose does seems to be very similar to what we all see and say during games on here. However this doesn’t seem to ever to translate onto the pitch. The half time team talks etc do the same, just never seem to get the reaction required from the players.
Posted in the Jose thread, but there seemed to be multiple times in the doc where the actual tactical analysis from Jose was spot on, but performances after did not reflect this.

I’m just weird. Those last 3 episodes were probably my favourite of the exercise. There’s an element of actual post match tactics and a glimpse of what’s being tried, I kinda feel like had I seen that last one on Friday, not Monday, I’d have come away feeling pretty optimistic that we have a plan and that issues are being systematically addressed.

but boy I’ve been bloody miserable for 24 hrs hah

This just makes me think it's more than just Jose. Managers have a right to expect top level footballers to have a modicum of football intelligence, desire to at least fight and common sense. If as a manager you're having to tell Dele not to just wander off leaving Davies outnumbered etc then bluddy hell...

It's not even Jose, they were the same under Poch at the end. Its getting to the point after watching that episode, and the performance yesterday, that I wonder if Jose has to check if half of them have their boots on before sending them out...

Winks seems to have watched that episode and ho back to lateral passing too.

Yeah, having watched that I'd say my main concern is that Levy interferes far too much on the footballing side, despite (as becomes evidently clear through every conversation with Jose) not actually knowing jack-shit about football as a sport.

Episode 7 was the one where I thought Jose is not the right fit for the club, he is outdated, and the players aren't buying into it, and he had no idea how to arrest the poor results (luckily a pandemic was able to)

His comments about WInks (which are totally not backed up by anything at all) and Levy lapping it up liked a gooey eyed star struck girl, and then talking shit back was totally surreal. It was a Donald Trump meets David Brent moment.

I just hope that if things go sour (which I think they inevitably will), they go sour quickly, before too much irreparable damage is done.

I was wondering about that - there's a few bits where Jose explains what is required, and then it cuts to the players and I'm just not entirely convinced they understand.

Wtf was all that PAHPAHPAHPAH shit? It was like a fucked up Jose teletubby sold by Del Boy.

Who was Lucas arguing with on the training ground in the last episode?

Could only watch 2 of the latest 3, had to stop. Watching the breakdown of our performances and Jose highlighting the need for aggression, pressing and desire and seeing that yesterday was too much for me.

Hats off to any who watched all three after yesterday.

Alright mate calm down it's hardly the CL Final

Jose comes across very well in the documentary, but he's clearly not getting the best out of the players. Poch wasn't a tactical genius but for a few years he was clearly getting the best out of them.

Just one of the many yes men/women around Levy. Structure at the club seems so outdated. In this day and age, there needs to be a layer between Levy and the football side of things. Liverpool, City have it and many other clubs to. Find it weird when Rose is looking for Levy for a chat. The old player going to the chairman for a chat because he is unhappy is so yesteryear. Levy is far too thinly spread and probably down to his own doing. Can imagine him micromanaging and wanting control of everything.

Trevor Birch?

From a person who has never watched any tv footage of the 1987 Cup Final I found the latest episodes akin to torture.
.
I watch a game and if we lose badly I move on never revisiting the scene of the crime, it was tough to re-watch some of that sloppiness which showed us as the nearly men yet again.

Episode 9;

Tensions are flaring up on the training ground. I see exactly what Mourinho wanted out of that session. Son who is a humble player don’t cope well with a situation like that and I think that goes for a lot of players. Lucas Moura angered at Aurier. Dele Alli bashing the team’s overall performance and Dier who usually sits in silence, speaks his mind, finally. Josè want that tough mentality from the boys and until he gets it, we’re still gonna break under pressure.

Also, I think I see why Joe Hart is in the team, not just to fill the HG quota but also to bring the winning mentality in. He is a tough hard headed type of player that can introduce that to the team
